Assessment of public and private land cover change in the United States from 1985–2018
Environmental Research Communications, 2023 An assessment of annual land cover on publicly and privately managed lands across the conterminous United States (CONUS) from 1985–2018 was performed, including land cover conversions within their management category, to inform future policy and land-use

Biodiversity response to rapid successive land cover conversions in human-dominated landscapes
Global Ecology and Conservation, 2023 Much of the world’s formerly “intact” land cover has been modified by humans with major impacts on biodiversity. Extensive areas of already modified land are now being subjected to yet further land cover conversions.

Targeted Land-Cover Classification [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, 2014 This paper addresses a specific typology of land-cover classification problems, hereinafter referred to as “targeted land-cover classification,” where the objective is the identification of only one or few specific “targeted” land-cover classes of interest, disregarding all the other potential classes present in the area under analysis.

Annual Detection of Forest Cover Loss Using Time Series Satellite Measurements of Percent Tree Cover
Remote Sensing, 2014 We introduce and test a new method to detect annual forest cover loss from time series estimates of percent tree cover. Our approach is founded on two realistic assumptions: (1) land cover disturbances are rare events over large geographic areas that ...
